Attenborough’s career as a naturalist and broadcaster has spawned many ground-breaking series - from the groundbreaking Life on Earth (1979) to Frozen Planet (2011). Together they comprise the most ambitious and comprehensive survey of terrestrial life ever undertaken.

As a former Controller of BBC2, Attenborough's commissioning output ranged from The Ascent of Man to The Old Grey Whistle Test. Yet his lasting legacy is his peerless contribution to our understanding of the natural world, first in terms of ecology, taxonomy and habitat, and increasingly in the light of man's environmental impact on the planet.
